What would be your recommendations for quilt books to purchase for our local library? Appreciate your help.

I donated mine and they used them in the book sale, which was fine by me, they said there wasn't any call for craft books anymore, too easily found on-line. You could check with local guilds though, see if any books are still called for?

The last quilt book I bought was Triple Play by Missouri Star. The library is right most all craft is now E books or youtube.

Two of you mentioned that crafting books are not popular at the library. Well perhaps not at the check out desk, but I work our library book sale events and we sell many, many craft books. There is still a population that like to see projects illustrated and hold a book in their hand. We sell books 3 for a $1 and crafts, knitting, quilting, crochet and applique often nearly sell out. (That would be 100+ at each sale with 6 sale a year.) All books are donated and the "profit" is returned to the library to purchase other books.

I would not hesitate to donate books to a local library if they host a sale as a fund raiser for the institution. Read on my quiltiy friends.
